No cable channels at all on old Sony Triniton

I just got an old (circa 1988!) Sony Triniton TV. Model: KV-2765R.

When I hook the coax cable directly to the TV I get no channels. I then hooked the non-Comcast, but the kind you buy at the store, digital converter to the tv, the one that came wih the old clunker, and it says it has no signal. An antena did not come with the digital box. Either way I get no channels. The TV did not come with a remote, only the remote that came with the digital box. There seems to be no way to autoprogram it, but even without autoprogramming it seems I should be getting at least a few cable channels.

I'm guessing I either need to find a way to autoprogram it or there could be something wrong with the cable input itself? Any ideas??

Thank you!

Make it sure that the coaxial cable has its own signal! if your tv has a raster (sometimes blue) and it says that the tv is good, but if there's no channel at all then the problem is in digital converter or the connection of the coaxial cable comes from..you can also try auto programing but if the problem still occured then contak your cable subscription channel

I have just got a kv-20s43 and your best bet is to try to restore settings, here, To reset TV to factory settings, turn the TV on, Then, while pressing the reset button on the remote control, press POWER on the TV. The TV will turn itself off, then back on, the original settings wiill be restored... definition: ch. fix- 2-6: Select when you want to control all channel selection through a cable box.

Philips flat tv. Can't get it to hook up to dish network. The room where the tv is there isn't a dish box. We have to watch what is on in the other room. It only has one coax cable to hook up. Don't know...

I should be channel 3 or 4. This assumes that this coax cable is coming out as a TV R.F. connection of a Dish Network Box (Satellite Receiver) intended for direct connection to an old fashioned NTSC (channels 2-13, 14-83, possibly even has cable channels depending on how old?) TV.

If this coax is the output of a coax going directly to the Satellite Dish or through what might might look to you like some kind of fancy splitter (called a Multi-Switch) the you WOULD NOT want to hook that to your old NTSC tv. The frequency is too high ... etc. etc... you would need Dish Box (as you call it) a.k.a. a Satellite receiver - with a good and active satellite card from your provider.

Lost some stations on my Sony lcd TV.

It is most likely a signal issue. Bad coax connections, splitters and faulty cable are usually the culprit. Best to call your cable company and request a signal test. You may also try swapping tvs. Swap sony with viewsonic in the room where viewsonic tv is.

How do I tune in Sony Triniton tv please

Hello
The first thing is to try going in the tv's menu
It should be similar to this:
Menu>setup>channel setup

once you find something similar, run the channel setup and it should add in the channels

If that doesn't work, screw on the cable wire, unplug the tv for a good few minutes, then replug the tv and it should automatically scan



Hope this helps

How do I add/remove channels on my sony tv? our

i do not actually know the model
but what you can try is that do a MANUAL TUNE on channel 3
to get whatever channel you previously had
You might have to go to the Menu and then find this option
Do not do a "Auto tune " this will start scanning for all the channel and automatically give them a location

if you have any other problem
pls tell me

Can't get rid of the Video Labels... ~

We put the tv on channel 3 then ran coax cable from the direct tv box to the tv and the display disappeared. The s-video cable was run from video 1 on the cable box to the video 1 on the tv. So he left the s-video there but by putting the tv on channel 3 and running the coax it fixed the problem.
